Considering that all of the OG myth-tellers were male (Homer, Hesoid, Ovid, Virgil, Herodotus…) this book brings a breath of fresh air to the readings. It was very empowering to see some new interpretations of the stories, all told from the female perspective. I am a huge lover of Greek myths so I had a good basic understanding of the tales themselves. I chose this for #magicalreadathon a few months back (and paired it with her other book of poems, Fierce Fairytales, another really great read!) This one really stuck out to me between the pair of books, and I have to admit I liked it much better. “I will take her to the library, and introduce her to every librarian because they are where Athena lives now.”
